This...seems completely insane. Like buying a pickup truck to drive a motorcycle around because you don't want to bother getting your M-class license.

That PSU is insane for a board that can run off 5V.

The PSU isn't just for the PI, but you'd not know that from the article which seems to have been written by someone with literally no imagination. If you're looking for a setup that lets you use a RasPi as, say, a file server with a fibre channel card, or a media hub with a GPU that can transcode several streams at once, then it's a really neat product and that justifies a decent PSU.
